Israel's True Mission
By RABBI JACOB KLEIN, Tifereth Israel Congrcgntion
.NEW- YORK.-^ This week Dr. Slopheu S. Wise, chairman of the.Uhiled Palestine Appeal, announced tliat Ainerl- cian Jewry's greatest effort for .the up¬ building-'of Palestine had reached ap¬ proximately ^11,0(10,000 and, that, if the stirriiig response of the early .weel^s of the campaign continues witli the sariit ejitlni-'^iasm and effectiveness, the ^o.OOO.- 000 goal seems assured.
Outstanding in the record-breaking re¬ sults of the United Appeal is New York City, which has.iu.st passed thc million c'ollar mark ahd .which is now preparing for the last'Stages of .it.s-Campaign in whicii its leaders expect to surpass their $J,oO(),000. quota. _ ¦ '
, New York's showing is typical of prac¬ tically every other commuiiity througb- out; the United; States. . Not a city but has bettered all previous contributions to Palestine; while many communities have raised five and ten times more thaii in any previous year, .Emaiiiicl Neuniaiin, Na.tional Director of the Appeal., de¬ clared in a statement commenting upon the success of the campaign, ':. "The anuouncemcntthat"New Yorkhail paseds the $l,CiOO,fip mark in its cam¬ paign for the United Palestine Appeal will l)e;greeted with .satisfaction through out,the country and abroad," Mr; Neu¬ mann stated, ¦ "fo.r this :is the first, time hi the history, of. the Ztbnist Movement that .tliis suni- has- been, suliscribed ii Greater New York; The sanic spirit o: optimisiH and.tlelermination to succeed that characterizes the New York cam¬ paign prevails throughout the country. The total sub.scriptions. toward the ,$'">,-. ODO.OUO goal. is. approximately $3,000,()O0 to date. Over $1,000,000 has been re¬ ceived in cash by the head office and considerable more iiioney is on hand in the local treasuries,
"Uutil now our .campai..;ns ha'Ve been conceutrateti chiefly in ; the . Eastern ¦ states, but activity has now spread throughout the country and has reached, its maximum intensity everywhere, from Maine to .Florida and from New York tp Los Angeles. Reports indi¬ cating vastly, improved returns over pre¬ vious ycarsi come from widely separated points,'" .Boston, for instance, has al¬ ready raised aipproxibiately $170,000 arid has remitted to ' headquarters 1iyO,<lOO. Jud'j;o Mack has just returned from a tour of Florida where he, wais personally instrumental in raising at various din¬ ners approximately *liO,iM)0, a- part of which goes to the J. D. C. Relief Cam paigii. The sum raised for Palestine in the Florida campaigns to date is, ap¬ pro ?iiiriqtely #8t>,000 ^~ a most remark¬ able result, wheii it is borne in mind tliat last yuar when business conditions . in l^'lorida were much better we receive<l in all A few thousand dollars from th:it state.
Campaigns are in progress through¬ out new England, ¦,Connecticut, .Vew- York State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virgipia, North and' South Carolina, Giiorgta,. Texas,- Oklahoma, Missouri. Kansas,. Ohio, Maryland, Mississippi, Oregoii, etc. x\ctivities have begun in Chicago where Mr. Sokolow was. the gut.st. of ¦ honor at a .series of sectional dinners. Althougb the campaign has not officially lie^un there, already ap- pr»\imntely ^Ho.OOO have been subscribed iiT advance subscriptions. I'Vom tny own personal observations when I was in Chicago recently, I am confident that they will more than dduble -their con¬ tribution over last year.
"While the campaigir throu;.;hout the country Is iirogresairig most .•iatisfacto- rily and iu many instances surpassing all our expectations, it must be borne in mind that the Keren Hayesod has suf¬ fered in its collections in other countries due to the conditions in Cciittal Europe. We have received letters from London and fn>ni Palestine indicating that the Single tickets may beihad for the next j Executive is seriously enibarrassed aud
I never could agree xvith Sir Walter Raleigh's assertion that "life is a trag¬ edy." To look upon, life as such is akin to the denial of any and everything that is imble, pure and above all, real in life. Goethe in his Faust and Sbloinon ivith. his "Vanity of Vanities," in Ecclesiastes, have no doubt denit'd every, reality in life aftur draining the cup of' life's pleas¬ ures to the dregs, thus barring all hope for future, happiness. It 'would remind one of a woman in quest of a certain ar¬ ticle who, after searching in vain in ont} of the huge modern emporiutiis, will, with a sigh of disL^ppointtnellt, leave the palace of industry totally bereft of all oufidcnce she had hitherto cHcrishc<l for th;it vast business estabilshment.
'rtiis worUl is like a department store, ill which the aitairs-^ the business of life arc going on with, a remarkable ve¬ locity of time. There is ample provision and variety of material for each, person to coii.struct.Ifis individual life in accord¬ ance \vith his own taste and conception of life. It is only the imprudent; the one wIio has' not understanding o,f Hfe'i real purpose, who gfoping in tlie dark, tries and tastes each and everything rc- garilless of the incongruity with, hi.s tem¬ perament, ability^ endurance and capacity of enjoyment, declares life' a tragedy. Disgusted /With himself and his, aimless strivings he arrives at the conclusion that life is not Worth living. To him naught is real. Why? Because he is inKincerc/ ;nid jnall's life, :though consisting of ever so many happenings, is of no beneficial import whatsoever, either to himself or, to others. Unless' thosci events bring with tlicm — or are caused and produced by -^ the insincerity of a certain purpose.' Hawthorne says: • ."Insincerity in a man's own. heart must make all his en¬ joyments .—-.all that concerns bim unreal; so.that h'is.whcilc life mustsecm like a merely dramatic entertainment."
Like the great ocean, life consists of units with the mere, difference that the events which constitute the units 0(f life are riot as uniform hi shape, color or voluirie as are the units—;thc drops of water-^ which form the mighty waters. Life is a journey on which the pleasures are .not; derived from the inimber of miles traveled, but.from the multiplicity and, variety of scenery .on which the soul pastures. Some travel but a short dis-^ tance ^yet nieet .with more events—r; life's units—: and of greater variety than! others whose voyage on life's highvyay is a juttch longer one.\^Therc is no. human being whose haippenings iri life are of uniform mould. A life consisting. of such units exclusively would indeed be but a monotonous . tragedy — tiresome even for idiots. . . ". . ;.. A journey on we go Thro* many a scene of joy and woe." .Israel stands in bold contrast with ail peoples,, hgth in length of life's journey

and in the vari-colored and many-iiliaped units. Israel; despite the innumerable tragedies of his life, does not look upon his jintire life as a tragedy^. When he thinks of all those whose .sufferings liavc been far less, but vvho have fallen in the strife; be says.: "I ani not as these, f6r 1 can suffer and he strong." Israel cherislies life. To him. Jtfe is real be¬ cause of his noble purpose and aim — the double mission of "Lishinoa Lilmgd UHanied," to Mark, to Learn,, and to Teadi, and "Lishmor V'la'sos Ul'kay- anie," to Heetl, to. Dei aud to Fulfill. He precedes Iiis morning pray "To heed, to du arid to fuliill," ihy "to niark, tn karn and to teach." ,
During all his. wanderings aud so- .joiirnings Israel has not only tried to leach, but also to learn. The sponge can exjpend only When it has abacirbed; capital, power; energy, as well as knowl¬ edge,, withont rcpjenisliment, are soon exhausted, '^o^bc.able to impart and ex¬ pound, incessant study is imperative. Israel is mintt'ful of tlie admonition, ¦'.Ayze Hoo Clioehom halomed Meckol hti-odom." He is wise who learns from all men. Whereyor the Jew sojourns he watches hisneiglibor with a r gus eyes in order to add to the store of his knowl¬ edge; thus is he not only enabled, to teach but also' fitted for every clime and con¬ dition. , To the Israelite thc Tenth Coin- iTiandment: "Thoii shalt not covet," ap¬ plies to all else but knowledge and wis- dorii; . for according to .the Talmud, "Kinas sofrmi tarbeh ohochmo," "Covcv tpusness, or strife among writers mul¬ tiplies wisdoni." ,. .
The ceaseless striving" to .acquire knowledge cndbles Israel to be the van¬ guard of tight. Truth and Justice. But as great as is the pursuance of "mark¬ ing,, learning and teaching,'* it dissolves! into notrhingness if it is not followed by "heeding, doing arid fulfilling;" In the cnseriible of noble manhood,— conduct- deportment 15 just as essential as in¬ tellect; and learning;-ergo, not only "to iTiark,.tp learn and to teach," but also "to.heed, to do and: to fulfill" is Israel's true mission. Only ihpse merit credit who exemplify natural intellect and ac¬ quired learning, wisdom and knowledge through apiplication, i. C;: through d^cd aild action. .Israel, therefore,: must be a power with reference tp conduct,, if .he is.lto be apowcr asi a teacher. In this spirit must be, labor, even though with¬ out peace: to himself, but impelled by the nobility of his riiission and by a great love and pity for those that are blind. If his torch .of enlightenment is to kindle arid irradiate;it must be pos¬ sessed of divine fire-^ love. Thc sources whence our mspir.'itions, are drawn nut.st be pure-and. unalloyed, if they are_ to be of beneficial influence to mankind. Thus, only, will the'radiance of Isl-ael eait gleams of light into the darkest spots of the globe.

Dr. Fildermaii to Address Meeting of the Jewish Congress Execative Sunday
Ruumanian Jewish Leader Will Dis¬ cuss Sitiiation In Roiimania—. !Ncw Election of Delegiates, To Be Held
. NEW YORK.—A special, meeting of the National Executive Commiittee of the Anrierican Jewish Congress will be held next Sunday, March I4th, at the Hotel Biltmore, New York, at which occasion . Dr; William.. Filderman/ head of the Union of Roumanian Jews, who has just arrived, from Bucharest, will give a detailed report of the present Jewish sitiiatipn iri Roumania.
, Recent .anti-rSemitic ! manifestations in Roumania, which took the form of vio¬ lent .attacks upon the Jewish students in .the universities, have given rise to the fear that Rouriiania has again embarked upon a program tof Jew-Baiting, which would' probably ¦' result,^ in serious po¬ groms. These ocburi-ences, , coming almost iriimediately aifter the pleasant assurances af the representatives of the Roumanian government in America^ that their government would not tolerate any attacks upon I Jews, , came as. a great shock lo Jewish leaders in A.merica and further coiifused the already riiuddled situation in Roumania. Dr. Filderman, direct froin the scene, will be in a posi¬ tion,to throw light upon'the actual sig¬ nificance of the recent disturbances, and his report together with confidential re¬ ports received from the American Jew¬ ish Congress representative abroad, will probably serve as a basis for any action that may be taken to improve the siUta-; tion in Roumania. ..•¦.-''.
Siipplcmentitig Dr. Filderman's report. Dr. Stephen S. Wisewill.give the der tails of the conferences which he and other Jewish leaders had with Prince Titulesco, and the memorandunv which they submitted to him describing the grievances of the Jews against Rou¬ mania:.
.\nother subject which will engage the attention of the Executive Committee will be the proposed conference in Eu¬ rope next summer, which wilt have as il-i purpose the . reorganization of the Committee of Jewish Delegations, which was formed in 1019 in Paris. It is ex¬ pected that the various Jewish comiriuni- ties in Europe will send their authorized delegates to this conference out of which would develop a strong representative European body that will be constantly on guard to protect Jewish interests in all European lands and will be the coii- necthig link between European and American Jewry.
The recent activities of the American Jewish Congress in agitating -for a change in the immigration law that will bring about the uniting of families now separated by the provisions pf the.quota law, will be reported ori fully at the meeting next Sunday. The Executive Committee will also be called upon to decide what action should be taken to combat the Alien Registration and De¬ portation Bills now pending in Congress. Several of the Committees created at tlie last session of the American Jewiafi Congress in October will render their reports ..to the Executive Committee The report of the Committee on Elec¬ tions will receive particular attention as a plan: will be adopted fornndating the rules of the elections of new delegates to the American Jewish Congress, which arc scheduled to take place this Spring.

I never could agree xvith Sir Walter Raleigh's assertion that "life is a trag¬ edy." To look upon, life as such is akin to the denial of any and everything that is imble, pure and above all, real in life. Goethe in his Faust and Sbloinon ivith. his "Vanity of Vanities," in Ecclesiastes, have no doubt denit'd every, reality in life aftur draining the cup of' life's pleas¬ ures to the dregs, thus barring all hope for future, happiness.

Dr. Fildermaii to Address Meeting of the Jewish Congress Execative Sunday
Ruumanian Jewish Leader Will Dis¬ cuss Sitiiation In Roiimania—. !Ncw Election of Delegiates, To Be Held
. NEW YORK.—A special, meeting of the National Executive Commiittee of the Anrierican Jewish Congress will be held next Sunday, March I4th, at the Hotel Biltmore, New York, at which occasion . Dr; William.. Filderman/ head of the Union of Roumanian Jews, who has just arrived, from Bucharest, will give a detailed report of the present Jewish sitiiatipn iri Roumania.
, Recent .anti-rSemitic ! manifestations in Roumania, which took the form of vio¬ lent .attacks upon the Jewish students in .the universities, have given rise to the fear that Rouriiania has again embarked upon a program tof Jew-Baiting, which would' probably ¦' result,^ in serious po¬ groms. These ocburi-ences, , coming almost iriimediately aifter the pleasant assurances af the representatives of the Roumanian government in America^ that their government would not tolerate any attacks upon I Jews, , came as. a great shock lo Jewish leaders in A.merica and further coiifused the already riiuddled situation in Roumania. Dr. Filderman, direct froin the scene, will be in a posi¬ tion,to throw light upon'the actual sig¬ nificance of the recent disturbances, and his report together with confidential re¬ ports received from the American Jew¬ ish Congress representative abroad, will probably serve as a basis for any action that may be taken to improve the siUta-; tion in Roumania. ..•¦.-''.
Siipplcmentitig Dr. Filderman's report. Dr. Stephen S. Wisewill.give the der tails of the conferences which he and other Jewish leaders had with Prince Titulesco, and the memorandunv which they submitted to him describing the grievances of the Jews against Rou¬ mania:.
.\nother subject which will engage the attention of the Executive Committee will be the proposed conference in Eu¬ rope next summer, which wilt have as il-i purpose the . reorganization of the Committee of Jewish Delegations, which was formed in 1019 in Paris. It is ex¬ pected that the various Jewish comiriuni- ties in Europe will send their authorized delegates to this conference out of which would develop a strong representative European body that will be constantly on guard to protect Jewish interests in all European lands and will be the coii- necthig link between European and American Jewry.
The recent activities of the American Jewish Congress in agitating -for a change in the immigration law that will bring about the uniting of families now separated by the provisions pf the.quota law, will be reported ori fully at the meeting next Sunday. The Executive Committee will also be called upon to decide what action should be taken to combat the Alien Registration and De¬ portation Bills now pending in Congress. Several of the Committees created at tlie last session of the American Jewiafi Congress in October will render their reports ..to the Executive Committee The report of the Committee on Elec¬ tions will receive particular attention as a plan: will be adopted fornndating the rules of the elections of new delegates to the American Jewish Congress, which arc scheduled to take place this Spring.

Speaks Feelingly
The giiest of honor spoke for over two hours describing moat ,.vividly and forcefully the humiliation^ arid . the . persecutions .to which.our coreligioiiisti across jibe sea :are being constantly sub- . jected. He .pointed out that h js beyond the power of any man, to describe ade¬ quately the depths of misery and de¬ spondency in which, "these .brethren of ours" are now finding themselves.
"People who at one time occupied the, same positions of wealth and influence as we do in America," he declared, "are now reduced to a state of actual Starva¬ tion; their children arc forced to seek for food in refuse cans; they are clothed . in tattered rags and go about the coun- , try becking for aniorscl of bread. Men who were philanthropists, men who en¬ dowed social service institutions, men who led in civic activities prior to the World War are now finding themselves objects of charity, bereft of their wcaUb, ¦ their beautiful .homes, their thrivirig businesses and relying on their gener- {Continucd on Page 4)
